摘要

The rising demand for wind power generation has spurred interest in brushless doubly-fed reluctance generators (BDFRGs) as a more efficient, low-maintenance alternative to traditional doubly-fed induction generators. This study introduces a sensorless speed control technique for BDFRGs that integrates primary field-oriented control with a novel model reference adaptive system (MRAS) based on a modified fictitious quantity method (mXs-MRAS). The proposed MRAS algorithm is parameter-independent and eliminates the need for integrator and differentiator components, enhancing robustness and adaptability across diverse operating conditions. Performance is compared with conventional Xs-MRAS in MATLAB/Simulink, with additional stability and the effects of parameter mismatch analyses confirming the system’s robustness. Experimental tests on a 1.6 kW BDFRG prototype further validate the stable performance of the proposed control method, underlining its potential for advancing sensorless control in wind power applications through increased efficiency and reduced maintenance.
